Perhaps Lent... is about sinking into the depths of redemption, receiving sacrifice and allowing all our carefully crafted idols to fall-- disappear beneath the waves of God's goodness and mercy. Endless waves, the sea gate held open. Perhaps this is the way we get to our knees-- by accepting the buckling weight of so great a love as this-- that One Holy would lay down his life awash in shame for my pitiable state-- and hold the gate Open. jfig 2/2023

So beautifully written. SINKING seeped into my soul. This is for you, Jenny: Author C.S. Lewis writes: “To please God…to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness…to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son—it seems impossible… But it is so.” — The Weight of Glory
